Best Courses to Train Remote Assistants on Microsoft Tools

Creating, collaborating, and communicating seamlessly makes any organization effective and credible. It's, therefore, practical that one of the best investments you could ever make in your real estate business is ensuring your team, including remote assistants, are up to date with the right skill sets and tools. 

Technology is ever-changing, and while, thanks to it, companies can save time and space by working with remote team membersit's hard to organize physical training for them compared to conventional office employees. 

Luckily, there are numerous online training courses curated by experts that you can direct them to take in the comfort of their remote offices. Microsoft tools, in particular, can help your team work more efficiently and increase overall productivity. 

Today we highlight some essential Microsoft training resources to help you train and manage virtual assistants.

Microsoft Word From Beginners to Advanced (Udemy)

This Microsoft Word course is offered through Udemy and designed from the ground up with the average office in mind. Property management virtual assistants can benefit from the course, whether they are beginners using Microsoft Word for the first time or have used previous versions of Microsoft Word. 

The training gives them the confidence to take on any word-processing task. It tackles simple things such as document creation, image insertion, word formatting, and advanced skills such as mail merge — all necessary to keep skilled virtual assistants at the top of their game.

While the training covers the basics, assuming the virtual assistants have no prior knowledge of the software, it goes at a pace that keeps them engaged and curious for the entire course.Laptop computer displaying logos of Microsoft Office

  • Print reports creation in Access

  • Organizing and managing mail, including ignoring, conditional formatting, and flagging

These are just some of the skills taught in the course through Udemy! Your remote assistants (and your property management business) will benefit from what this course offers.

The program also allows the team to enter, organize, manage, and analyze data efficiently, perform calculations, and customize rows, columns, tables, and cells.
